Being that I like to release the new Good Medicine mix on the first Friday of every other month, I’m a few days late on this one – but the silver lining is that I’m a few days closer to Valentine’s Day, so now you have a little something-something you can give that special someone. You can even draw a big heart on the CD and say it was from you. You’re welcome. And being that February is kind of an odd month seasonally-speaking (it’s been anywhere between mid-30’s to upper-60’s here in the Carolinas and this month is only a week old… what the heck), it’s a little hard to nail down from that perspective, so I like to make a nice collection of non-cheesy love jams that don’t involve the words ‘silky,’ ‘smooth,’ or a trashy saxophone solo. You’re welcome again. Now turn it up and feel the love.

* If you like what you hear, you had better go support these bands. It’s almost Valentine’s Day – show them some love you heartless jerk.

***And if any of the bands on here don’t want their music on the mix, just let me know and I’ll remove it promptly. Thanks.

Wow! I just downloaded ALL 11 of your mixes and I swear you are my musical soul mate! I showed them all to my girlfriend and she started laughing because at least half of *all* these tunes are already on mixes I’ve made her. I’m so excited to try out the tunes / bands I haven’t heard because I’m sure I’ll love them (as we clearly have the same tastes). It’s kind of uncanny Thanks SO much !!!!

Also have you heard of The Spring Standards? Another fun quirky indie band I’ve been listening to a lot lately – with female and male lead vocals. Stylilstically they are sort of all over the place, but their last album hasn’t left my rotation in a few months now…

Hi you folks out there. I’m from Europe (Netherlands) and just discovered your blog and your posts. Some music is known over here, but most isn’t. I like listening to music of all kinds and grew up only with a kind of Dutch folksy music. Nowadays my interests are folk, blues, rock, space and classical music.
I will try out your postings and give you some comment.
For now; thank you. Kind regards to all of you
